Xeriscape: Water smart environmentally friendly planting using drought tolerant native plants. When used in a landscape design, with proper drip irrigation, native plants can flourish with little care, giving you a lot of bang (volume & color) for your buck. Xeriscape is the common sense approach to landscaping in our high desert conditions with little water, poor soil and a short growing season. Smart Money magazine ("Fertile Ground", March 2003) recommends revamping landscaping to add to a home's resale value. In Taos, low maintenance is the number one request in landscape design.

Hardscape: Landscaping other than plants: walls, patios, rock, etc. Rock and gravel mulches use water permeable weed barriers to inhibit competitive weeds and maximize growing conditions for desired plants. Aesthetic hardscape, including rock walls, flagstone patios, invisible fountains, and boulder arrangements offer minimal maintenance.

Irrigation: Don’t even think about standing around with a hose! Hand watering wastes water, time and erodes soil. User friendly automatic irrigation systems are the backbone of all successful landscaping in Taos. Our drip systems deliver a specific amount of water to each individual plant, at a rate optimally absorbed by the plant’s root system. Electronic controllers allow you to water different areas with varying needs, i.e. trees versus lawns, on separate schedules. By watering at night, evaporation is minimized, the soil and roots can maximize absorption, and the water demand can be spread out for the benefit of your well.

Native grass seeding Works! A great solution for mud and dust control, reclamation, and ideally, choking out weeds. For the best results with seeding, we recommend sprinklers or sprayers with an automatic controller.

Bobcat Excavation: We have all the bobcat attachments to efficiently dig, trench, grade, build swales and mounds, rototil and rake large areas, and move big piles in small areas.

Maintenance: Maintenance crews and machinery to weed, mow, weedeat, prune, fertilize, dethatch lawns, tractor mow fields, rake, blow, clean-up and haul off. We also offers weekly, biweekly, and monthly maintenance arrangements.
